      Bridger held Kiara's tiny ukulele in his hand and the Pogues listened to him play it terribly. "This is a shit show. Where did we go wrong? John B's in the slammer." He sang off key.

"Beautiful, Bridge. That's really great." Kiara said sarcastically and she nodded.

"The next American Idol right there." Said JJ while he was waxing his surfboard.

"Thanks guys." Bridger passed the ukulele back to her. "Here, you play prettier than me."

Kiara chuckled and started strumming the strings. "That's a lot of wax on your board, man. Put too much wax on there, it's gonna be slippery." Pope said to JJ.

JJ paused. "Are you telling me how to wax my board, Pope?" He grew defensive.

Bridger rolled his eyes. "Don't be dramatic."

"No, I'm just saying that's a lot of wax."

"No, no, you're telling me how to wax my board! Are you kidding me?"

Kiara and Bridger looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

"That's a colossal waste of wax." Pope shrugged.

As Bridger opened his mouth to talk, he heard a familiar car horn pull into the lawn of the home. He titled his head. "Is that—"

"Is that what I think it is?" JJ read his mind.

The honking got louder and then the engine sputtered. It was. The Twinkie came zooming into the yard and John B was in thr driver's seat. "No fucking way." Bridger practically yelled with a dropped jaw.

"Are you serious?" Kiara gasped.

"No!"

"Am I dreaming?"

John B hopped out of the van. "Guess who's out of the flunk, boy!" He thrilled.

"No freaking way, man!" Pope exclaimed as Kiara screamed.

The group ran to hug him and they formed a circle. "You're like a cat with nine fucking lives, dude." Bridger laughed and rubbed the top of his cap.

"My boy's out of the can!" JJ laughed excitedly.

"We missed you."

"I missed you guys, too."

"You gotta tell us how jail was so I can make sure never to go there."

They all laughed and pulled out of the hug. "The worst experience of my life." John B answered him.

Bridger nodded. "Noted."

"How'd you do it? You bust out?"

"Uh, they dropped the chargers." He informed them.

"They dropped the charges." Pope repeated with wide eyes.
